CLC rating: Pro-abortion, pro-LGBT ideology
Rating Comments: In the autumn of 2022, David Eby became Leader of the NDP and Premier of BC, replacing John Horgan, who resigned from these offices in June of that year, after surviving a bout with cancer.
The NDP's official position is pro-abortion. It was the NDP government, elected in 1990, that introduced regulations within the province's Health Act, to force hospitals within each region of the province to provide "abortion services", even where the hospital board of directors had voted against the practice. In 2001, the ruling NDP government issued one of the most radical pro-abortion resolutions ever seen in North America which included increased funding for the medical training of abortionists; enhanced access to abortifacient morning-after pills; and increased fees for abortionists. The NDP also passed the "bubble zone" law t to prevent pro-life protests in front of abortuaries. The BC NDP is also opposed to traditional family values. Its constitution includes a "Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgendered Caucus" within the party.

Here is David Eby's voting record relating to life and family issues:
| Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
|---|---|---|
 |
||
| Position on taxpayer funding of elective abortion procedures | Supports |  |
| Position on legalizing euthanasia or assisted suicide These are considered acts of homicide under the Criminal Code of Canada and are thefore, illegal. |
Supports | |
| Position on the right of parents to withdraw kids from classroom lessons that parents view as morally inappropriate or controversial. | Opposes | |
| Marched in, or endorsed, a Gay Pride Parade Gay Pride festivals are controversial, often feature mock sex acts in public and are offensive to many, perhaps most, Canadians. As such it is inaprropriate for an elected representative to endorse one side of this socially divisive issue. Elected officials are supposed to represent ALL their consituents, not just the politically correct ones. |
Supported | |
| Position on legalizing drug injection sites This is a flawed policy that only enables drug addiction |
Supports | |
| Bill 27 - 3rd reading of an Act to amend the BC Human Rights Code to add the LGBT-invented phrase "gender identity or expression" as a prohibited ground of discrimination. This totalitarian Bill, introduced by BC Liberal Justice Minister Suzanne Anton, legally invents a new breed of humans out of those suffering from Gender Identity Disorder. The new law threatens to punish people who refuse to recognize or affirm transsexual delusions and alter-egos, considering such refusal to be a violation of "human rights". [Passed unanimously on July 25, 2016 by all 70 MLAs who cast a vote] |
